Zuo Ying is calm on the surface, but she knows very well in her heart that if the crisis can be resolved just by lip service, the gang bosses will not have to accept the younger brother, and the government will not have to raise the army for nothing. For Zuo Ying, who is weak and lonely, it is difficult to escape from here to ascend to heaven, but even if she escapes, it does not mean that she can be saved, and if she does not get the support of anyone in the court, she will only be unable to escape the fate of becoming a scapegoat under the silence of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military wisdom.

It's really a situation where everything is wrong. What a cunning and vicious Helan Chu! I thought that the sweet words that night were just a beautiful man's plan, but now I know that it is actually a delaying tactic! The old fox is just blowing a breath, and he can already be so exciting, and the next drama may be even more dazzling, but unfortunately, I may not have a chance to make it to the next round. Zuo Ying's gaze couldn't help but chill.

"Someone!" Before Empress Li finished talking about "take down this murderous suspect", the attendants behind her seemed to have waited too long, and they were ready to pounce.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the noise reached the study hall. Immediately afterward, a man frantically squeezed through the gap in the "human wall" and stumbled and almost fell to the ground. There were also several scolding voices behind him, and it seemed that the people guarding the outside let this person break in carelessly, and they didn't dare to follow up rashly, so they all stopped outside.

Everyone looked at it and saw that the person who squeezed in was a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a civilian dress and carrying a yellow burden behind her. Before she could stand firmly, she threw herself down in front of Empress Li and said in a weak but unusually firm voice: "Queen Mother! The princess is wronged! ”

The moment someone barged in from outside, Zuo Ying saw clearly that the person was Scarlet Feather. Her civilian dress must have been because she had just returned from outside the palace and had not had time to change it.

"Queen Mother! The princess has a deep brotherhood with His Majesty, how can she hurt His Majesty? Ask the queen to see clearly! "The scarlet feather, which is usually as gentle as water, is like a cinnamon swaying in the wind at this time, and it is so panicked and messy that it makes people feel a little heartache.

"Presumptuous! Where did the wild girl come from, but she dared to disturb the law enforcement of the palace?! ”

Empress Li shouted angrily, and several attendants next to her had already strode over. One of the outstretched feet in front of her kicked Scarlet Feather in the chest, knocking her to the ground. The other attendant was not far behind, and kicked her in front of the scarlet feather who had fallen to the ground, kicking her a few times, and the burden on her shoulders was also scattered to the ground, and the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth wet her cheeks, and the dripping bright red was unusually dazzling on the fair face that could be broken by blowing bombs!

"Queen...... Treat unjustly! The princess is wronged! Scarlet Feather covered her chest with a painful expression, but she didn't stop pleading, her trembling voice was weak and poignant.

One of the attendants hurriedly stepped forward, and as soon as he bent down and hooked his hand around Scarlet Feather's arm, he was about to drag her out the door.

Scarlet Feather was about to struggle, when she suddenly heard two particularly crisp and loud sounds of "popping" above her head, and then the force that was holding her arm loosened. She suddenly got up and looked back, only to see that the attendant was covering his face and taking a few steps back, and the other people who wanted to surround him to help were also dumbfounded, not daring to step forward immediately.

"The person who beats me is slapping me in the face!" Zuo Ying had already come to Scarlet Feather's side, there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were cold and sharp and stared directly at Queen Li's angry eyes, "The hands and feet of these minions have been recorded in the account." ”

If there is one more thing in the world that can make Zuo Ying angry, it must be her siblings being insulted. Relying on a group of brothers who were born and died inherited from his father, Zuo Ying, who worked hard for her later career, has always regarded the people under her as important as her relatives.

The two slaps were fanned out for a while, and Zuo Ying slowly felt that her delicate palms were hurting hotly.

It's just a half-grown child who has lost all her power and is being slaughtered, but there is no empty space in her words or bluffing, but it is full of deterrent power that makes people feel that she will be able to fulfill it.

Although the princess had brought her enough accidents today, looking at Zuo Ying's eyes at the moment, Queen Li couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and her gaze quickly moved away uneasily.

"Hmph, don't talk about the person who beat you, even if you really beat you, what will you do?!" Empress Li still didn't give in, but there was already a little lack of confidence in her voice.

"Hit me?" The more obvious smile at the corner of Zuo Ying's mouth showed her anger, "You are just a ** concubine, and I am a royal descendant of the Helan clan; I'll give you face and call you sister-in-law, if you don't give you face, you're not even as good as a bitch! If you dare to make trouble here and beat me, you are guilty of the following capital crimes! If I am violently taken out of Yongning Palace by you today, tomorrow the queen will no longer need to be blamed by others for your crimes! ”

Empress Li has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and she has read all the classics of sages, and she doesn't understand a word of market slang, but she can probably see from the surprised expressions of others that Zuo Ying said some vulgar and filthy words, but she didn't feel any insults; It's just that Zuo Ying's last sentence made her suddenly a little jealous.

"Queen, do you know how to play chess?" Zuo Ying smiled and began to calm down, "Of the thirty-two chess pieces in a chess game, only one must survive, and the rest can be sacrificed to eliminate the opponent's generals." Not to mention a pawn, even the big men of the chariot and horse artillery are no exception. ”

Empress Li can naturally understand that this is Zuo Ying reflecting that she is being used, and she mentioned her brother Li Xin just now, which seems to be intentional, indicating that she has guessed that her move is to save her brother and is willing to become a substitute for others.

Although Empress Li is small, jealous and resentful, after all, she is from a scholarly family, she has been trained by sages since she was a child, and her family education is very strict, so her heart is not bad. She hated Concubine Hui, who was the emperor's childhood sweetheart and was deeply favored by the emperor, and she was embarrassed by her everywhere, but she only stayed in a quarrel, and never thought about it, let alone did anything bad like slander, poisoning, murder, etc.

She had a grudge with the princess because she had a personal relationship with Concubine Hui and often helped Concubine Hui deal with her. But after the emperor and Concubine Hui returned to the world one after another, the past disputes were meaningless, and she gradually let go of her obsessions. The kind of slander that she was forced to do in front of her had actually broken through her moral bottom line, making her contradictory and troubled, and being seen through at this moment made her feel a sudden cowardice.

No way! Saving my brother is the most important thing! Your Majesty has died, and there are no heirs in this palace, and your father and brother are everything in this palace, and you must not be soft and bad! Even if today's matter is investigated one day, then it is better to sacrifice this palace; As long as the brother's treason is removed, the father will keep him safe! Thinking of this, Empress Li gritted her teeth fiercely and shouted: "Quickly take down this murderous suspect!" ”
